It’s as much a “harm they put in place themselves” as website cookies are - these are technical artifacts that were maliciously used. It is just not arguing in good faith to claim they made it for tracking purposes - it’s like basic software development practice to create some unique IDs, and it has plenty useful roles.
Yeah, google will return something for “covid is a hoax” as well, that doesn’t constitute a proof.
Also, from your very own article: “Broadly speaking, it collects a lot less information than Google or Facebook and has backed up its claims that it is privacy-focused”

Meh, I have been using linux desktop exclusively for a decade now, and I have to disagree. It… sorta works, but it has definitely many many shortcomings and edge cases where it just shits itself completely — that is, the userspace. The kernel itself is rock solid.
Maybe some IQ one as well - it doesn’t have to be too high, something like 60 would already filter out this idiot…
I mean, criminals caught and put into jail by definition have less rights than someone free to walk anywhere… though your actual point is taken.
How is it privacy friendly? Not trying to troll of anything, but people literally share all their likes/dislikes plainly with everyone, and deletes don’t have to actually be executed on other servers.
Why would they open them faster? They do the exact same shit. It takes a long time because the OS has to load every file into memory, and especially the first time things line the whole gtk library is loaded is taking its time.
Or change copy to command+c… I’m gonna be honest, OSX is right here. And quite strangely it is very hard to customize your linux to imitate that.

That’s much easier grounds then… checks notes… a modern laptop straight from the factory.
No wayland.
I mean, it is probably not a bad idea to take a look at one of the most well-loved DEs for ideas… and Gnome did take only good things from it and my subjective opinion is that they have a proper vision taking many of the good things from OSX.
You are free to fork it at anytime. I really can’t hate them for having a cohesive vision they plan on developing.
Is there any desktop OS that open apps instantly? Because I have never seen any, my phone definitely beats any of them.
I like and use it each day. Now who wins?
Security doesn’t work like that and I find it important to share the insecure nature of most linux distros with many people, hopefully to make it improve one day.
Currently a make install can do literally anything to your computer besides installing a video card driver (as per the old xkcd comic) and sure there is firejail… but let’s be honest, how often do you use it? Defaults matter, and thus linux is insecure.
Also, again, how is osx locked down? What’s a concrete thing you can’t do on it?
Package management is the ultimate problem that was previously left unsolved (no, docker just pushes the problem away, doesn’t solve it. That apt install won’t be the same now as it was when you wrote it). Nix is the first thing that actually solves it properly.
Arguably: docker sucks.
